you will love Ubuntu, trust me.. Ive been a redhat / fedora fan for ages, but moved one of my servers to ubuntu.. Once you get used to apt youll realise how nice it is, and Ive never had much luck with a Fedora upgrade between versions, but fedora has very good reports.. no reinstalls .. just change the repositories and do an upgrade and it all magically stays working ;-) _____ From: John Torrance [mailto:jtorrance(a)ihug.co.nz] Sent: Sunday, 24 April 2005 4:36 p.m. To: wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: [wlug] default distro Hi I see that you are using Ubuntu v5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) as your official distro for the install fest. What advantages does if have over the latest Fedora? As a newbie, I have some experience with Red Hat and Fedora but have never used Debian which I believe is the basis of Ubuntu. Cheers John
